Qila Lohgarh - Lohgarh (fort of steel) - Lohgarh was the second strongest Qila after Qila Anandgarh Sahib as it was on southern side of Anandpur Sahib. Here Guru Sahib had set up a factory for the manufacturing of arms. The hill raja armies attacked Anandpur Sahib many times but hesitated to attack the Qila because of their fear that its gate could not be broken.
It is situated at one and a half kilometres southwest of Takht Sri Kesgarh Sahib. It was constructed under guidance of Guru Gobind Singh ji to protect the riverside flank of Anandpur Sahib. It was here that Bhai Bachchittar Singh faced and turned back a drunken elephant which the hill chiefs had sent to batter down the gate of this fort. It was in this fort where the arms and ammunition were manufactured.
